stem four to six feet high, pubescent and scabrous, sparingly branched* 

 Upper leaves alternate, very long, ovate and oval-lanceolate, sometimes 

 slightly acuminate, with fine and distant serratures. Flmvers terminal, 

 rather large, on short and robust peduncles. Leaves of the involucrum 

 longer than the disk, ciliate with long tapering hispid summits. Florets of 

 tlie ray twelve to fourteen, yellow; of the disk numerous, five-cleft, with the 

 summits hairy. Seeds four-angled, slightly compressed. P«/>p2/5 subulate. 

 Chaff of the receptacle three-cleft, hairy towards the summit, the middle 

 segment much larger than the lateral. 



This plant appears to me to approach very near to the H. Tomentosus 

 of Michaux; it is not the H. Mollis of Willd.; perhaps these plants, hitherto 

 united, are really distinct. 



Grows in the western districts of Georgia, and between the Chatahouchie 

 :and Alabama rivers^
